I know people think I am crazy with that last statement, or just trying to be funny, but CAL barely lost to UA at UA. With one defensive stand more, they win. We barely lost to Cal at Cal. With the team growing and seeing that no game is hopeless (even if still unlikely, there are many 'unlikely win' games being won around the country this year), anything is possible if you keep fighting.
Hell, just to know UO won't pull starters early in the 2nd is an improvement, and I don't think starters will be pulled at all against us. And to me, I care ore about CU growing than if the PAC gets to the playoffs this year. I'll take a CU upsetting UCLA too if I could.
Yes, CU might not win another game this year. But CU might win them all. I think both are equally likely. 4 wins will be hard to get, 2 is more likely, 4 maybe. But unlike years of recent vintage, I can't look at any game left and say 'We lose by 50, they will name their score against us' like in years past. That is a good sign. Boy...to pull an upset or two and squeak into a bowl would feel HUGE to me. I guess you can say I'm a dreamer. I hope I'm not the only one.

Yup, it doesn't take a genius to figure this out. Although sometimes even a genius can't figure it out.

Watching Oregon is like watching CU just as "Rick the Dick" was preparing to exit stage right. They could get the thing turned around but Helfrich isn't the guy that can do it. By the time Helfrich has a senior class playing they will be a 6-6 team with no titles to show for all of Uncle Phil's Qwan. They are so outmanned in the trenches right now its comedy watching them. If Mariota were to go down they could be 6-6 right now.

:stupid:
The problem for Helfrich is that he's already at a program with "everything money can buy," so I don't think some dumbass AD is going to poach him like UW did for Neuheisal.
I dont think it's crazy. I was thinking last night about how with the progress we are seeing, we can hang with any PAC 12 team. Like you said- UA barely beat Cal. UA beats Oregon and we nearly upset Cal. So do we beat UO? (Even my Kool aid isn't THAT strong)
BUt i think we beat UCLA, Washington, and Utah at home. Of course, we also will kick it off with a win over Oregon state.
i think Folsom feels like a home field advantage again. We will find out for sure on Saturday?

^^this^ and work on defending that damn wheel route. Those az backs wide open
From our perspective, Helfrich was offensive coordinator here and I don't think anyone was singing his praises as an offensive genius. To his credit, he was also coaching a Hawkins team that was more about Zen than football talent. And the whole was it nepotism or not question was lingering the whole time too.
but I do think his presence at UO will make the Ducks a second tier team in the PAC 12. I hope they give Helfrich 5 years to make this his program. I wish I could have seen the UO fans last night. They were pretty awful in Boulder (anyone agree?). They weren't as "classy" (ie, totally classless) like Husker fans but they were arrogant and annoying.

Looks like CU will continue to have something that Oregon does not. That feels good lol.
+ scott frost trying to run the triple option. It was freakn hilarious watching them pout, they really are kinda sore losers
Couldn't happen to a better group of bandwagon non-fans. Just wait until 2024, a new pretty boy program will flash in the pan. Those fans will think football never existed before 2022. 'How could Oregon have ever been good', they would say.
Thanks Shldr ! my eyes are tired from the late night, but the outcome worth it and those pics are perking them up...
GO BUFFS !!
You are crazy as a loon.

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!
It feels good to wake up in Oregon this morning.
I had a bunch of people in my neighborhood cheering for every play the Ducks made last night so loudly I could hear them in my house... it got pretty quiet around 10:30.
I just can't stop smiling. I guess those UO players that were "bored" with playing in the Rose Bowl won't have to worry about that horror for another year!

People on message boards always seem to hate the fans of winning teams. The fans of team x are awful because of....whatever. Ok, so are all fans bad? Are any fans of winning teams good? Here is the list of national champions. Do you hate the fans of all of these teams?

if we ever get back to oregon's level, make no mistake we will be absolutely insufferable.
The hating in this thread is on 1 fanbase. That fanbase is missing on your list. They act like they have a spot there, but they don't. That is why a lot of people don't like them.
Most of them, yes.
What the Hell is the matter with you?
No doubt in my mind. We're going to be the most hated fanbase in the Pac 12... eventually.
+1000 You missed the most important NC of all time, Mark.
What do you not understand?
